Get ready for a color-soaked stroll through downtown Shelton! 🎨 In this conversation, Jeff Slakey previews the 2025 Shelton Art Walk—happening Saturday, June 28, 11 a.m.–7 p.m.—with three creative catalysts:
- Amy Cooper – Photographer, business owner & driving force behind Shelton’s emerging Creative District
- Molly Wheat Baker – local artist/educator painting a brand-new Blue Zones–funded mural on the Coda Street Antiques wall
- Steve Buettler – Coordinating librarian for Timberland Regional Library, championing TRL’s kid-powered “Art Adventure” zone
They cover everything you need to know before you lace up:
- 20+ downtown businesses showcasing local artists—plus a 3-to-6 p.m. artist reception where you can chat with the creators.
- Cota Street hub: vendor market, main stage, live demos, food trucks & a 4-to-7 p.m. beer garden after the farmers’ market closes.
- Family fun: TRL, Great Bend Center for Music & YMCA team up for a hands-on Kid Zone, with crowd-favorite magician Jeff Evans on the main stage at noon.
- Public-art explosion: new murals, fresh studios and a walking map that turns every block into a gallery (download at SheltonArtWalk.com).
- Why art matters here—from boosting downtown foot traffic to improving community well-being.
Whether you’re a first-timer or a returning art walker, this episode paints the perfect itinerary for a day of creativity, culture and small-town charm on the Hood Canal.
